However, before the hand of this Green Snake Gang disciple touched the long knife, a burst of energy had already shot out from Chu Qinghe's fingers.

is so abrupt that even an ordinary second-rate realm martial artist may not be able to react.

Not to mention this disciple of the Green Snake Gang.

There was almost no room for reaction, and this Green Snake Gang disciple was hit by Chu Qinghe's powerful energy.

As the acupuncture points were pointed, the Green Snake Gang disciple's body suddenly stiffened and it was difficult to move.

And the hands of the disciples of the Green Snake Gang were still two inches away from the long knives on the table.

Facing the immovable body, the Green Snake Gang disciple's eyes shrank.

"Damn, didn't you say this guy was just an ordinary person? How so? ”

In the midst of the abuse in his heart, the Green Snake Gang disciple who realized that Chu Qinghe was not simple looked even more frightened, and hurriedly said: "Chu ....... No, Uncle Chu, the villain has eyes and doesn't know that Taishan has offended the uncle, and begged the uncle to raise his noble hand, raise his noble hand........."

After his gaze lingered on the Green Snake Gang disciple who was constantly begging for mercy for a few breaths, Chu Qinghe shook his head gently.

To be honest, Chu Qinghe felt that the other party's unruly appearance looked more pleasing to the eye.

Now that he is like this, Chu Qinghe feels like he is bullying.

After suppressing this strange thought in his heart, Chu Qinghe slowly spoke: "I'll ask a few questions, you cooperate." ”

In the face of Chu Qinghe's words, the Green Snake Gang disciple's expression froze for a moment, but immediately he nodded as quickly as a chicken pecking rice, and said with difficulty in his throat: "You ask, the little one must cooperate." ”

I was afraid that if I was too late, I would follow in the footsteps of the three Green Snake Gang disciples on the ground.

Seeing this, Chu Qinghe opened his mouth and asked, "How long have you been in the Green Snake Gang?" ”

Disciple of the Green Snake Gang: "It's been three years. ”

Chu Qinghe: "What position is in the Green Snake Gang now?" ”

Disciple of the Green Snake Gang: "There is no position, the villain is just an ordinary disciple." ”

After two questions, Chu Qinghe asked the crucial one.

"Is there anyone above you?"

When the words fell, Chu Qinghe thought about it and changed his words: "Does the leader of the Green Snake Gang have anything to do with you?" ”

The disciple of the Green Snake Gang next to him said with a bitter face: "Where does the little one have such a blessing, what does it have to do with the gang leader?" When I was able to enter the Green Snake Gang, it took ten taels of silver to get in. ”

As he spoke, the disciples of the Green Snake Gang glanced at the few disciples of the Green Snake Gang on the ground who could not move but had blood on the corners of their mouths, and their hearts tightened and begged for mercy again.

"Uncle Chu, this time it's a villain who is obsessed with money, Master Chu, you will treat me as a fart, and the villain promises never to appear in front of you in the future."

Listening to what the disciple of the Green Snake Gang said, Chu Qinghe did not respond, but muttered softly: "Don't you have any background?" That's fine, it saves you trouble. ”

After all, nepotism has always been troublesome.

If there is any relationship or background in the Green Snake Gang in front of this, now after this incident, the Green Snake Gang will definitely not be good.

After Bao Buqi has solved these guys now, Chu Qinghe has to make a special trip to the Green Snake Gang.

Otherwise, in this Yushui City, there was a hostile force staring, and Chu Qinghe felt a little uncomfortable.

Unless it's done once and for all, the Green Snake Gang will also be solved by the way.

But if the people in front of you don't have a background or a background, then things are much simpler.

Even if the four disciples of the Green Snake Gang in front of him are resolved, the Green Snake Gang probably won't have any thoughts of revenge.

After confirming this, Chu Qinghe glanced at the disciple of the Green Snake Gang in front of him, and suddenly asked curiously: "By the way, if you are doing this kind of money-grabbing business now, aren't you worried about causing trouble to your Green Snake Gang?" ”

In this world, the rivers and lakes and the imperial court are said to be distinct, but in fact, after hundreds of years, they have long been inextricably linked with each other.

Everywhere, there are often two kinds of order.

One is order on the surface.

One is order behind the scenes.

The order on the surface is the imperial court.

And behind the scenes, it is naturally the rivers and lakes.

There are some things, even if the court comes forward, it is a little inconvenient to solve.

Therefore, over the centuries, the rivers and lakes and the imperial court have formed a unique system in this world.

Each city and even village will be divided into two parts of the commercial tax and the civil tax every year.

Seven of them were sold at the imperial court.

The other 30% is divided by the forces of the rivers and lakes.

And the low-level forces need to supply the high-level forces behind the back who are responsible for managing their own areas every month.

As for the amount of taxes that the lower forces need to pay, it is determined by the top forces in the area.

For example, on the Wudang side, the front of the demand for the following forces is fifty percent of the month.

Half points, hello, hello, hello everyone.

If it is more ruthless, it will even be required to hand over seventy percent or even eighty percent.

And this money will eventually be remitted to the top forces in the region.

This Yushui City belongs to the southwest of the Ming Dynasty, and the top forces in the town belong to the Flower Shifting Palace in the Embroidered Jade Valley.

Half of the monthly money of the Green Snake Gang and the Iron Fist Sect in Yushui City needs to be handed over to the second-rate force in charge of their jurisdiction, the Hengshan faction.

Then hand it over to a higher-level first-class force.

But because the Hengshan faction itself is within the Wuyue Sword Sect.

And the Wuyue Sword Sect and the Sun Moon Divine Sect have been at odds for a hundred years.

Therefore, the monthly income from the surrounding areas of the Hengshan faction is to be handed over to the Shifting Flower Palace.

Otherwise, a top force like Wudang Shaolin with tens of thousands of disciples.

If you don't have a lot of financial resources to support it, how can you maintain it?

Are they all going to rob the beggars for business?

In Chu Qinghe's opinion, the imperial court's move is indeed smart.

In this world, I am afraid that the martial arts have been rampant for a long time.

Chivalry violates the ban with martial arts, and with strength, who wants to resign himself to his fate?

Of course, being fed is another matter.

At this point, I have to say that the court is smart.

Thirty percent of the tax revenue is not a small amount for a country, and it is even a lot of money.

But the question is, how much of this 30% tax can end up in the treasury?

After all, corruption has been difficult to eradicate since ancient times.

But if it is thrown directly into the rivers and lakes, not only do you not need to worry about these martial arts people making trouble because of lack of money, let all the martial arts people compete for the thirty percent of the tax to play by themselves, which has the effect of appeasing.

Second, it can also make these Jianghu forces change their direction.

It can't be said that seventy percent of Yushuicheng's taxes have entered the treasury of 100,000 taels this year, but thirty percent of the taxes distributed to the rivers and lakes are one million taels, right?

Anyone knows the problem when they look it up.

It's killing two birds with one stone.

It is also because the taxes of various places are also linked to their own income, so in the rivers and lakes, from the top forces to the third-rate forces, once anything happens in the area under their jurisdiction, it is impossible to ignore it.

In addition, this world is far larger than the world of Chu Qinghe's previous life.

With a large land and abundant resources, coupled with a relatively stable environment, under the joint management of the imperial court and the rivers and lakes, the public security is good.

In addition, strictly speaking, this tax has not been increased, as long as ordinary people do not rashly provoke warriors, they can get by.

Normally, there will not be too many of the forces of the rivers and lakes bullying ordinary people or merchants for no reason.

Otherwise, if the Hengshan faction knew about it for a long time, the Green Snake Gang would not be happy.

If this attracts the six doors of the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court institutions such as Dongchang intervene, then the Hengshan faction will have a headache.

Where will the Green Snake Gang be better off after that?

Therefore, Chu Qinghe was also curious about why these disciples of the Green Snake Gang dared to play such a blatant game that was close to robbery.
